This book was a bit of a let down because there is zero plot!!! There were so many more directions I expected this to go and it went in none of them. This book is a ton of back and forth between Paedyn and Kai and it got really old. I also wish we got more of Kai’s perspective because you could tell he had some character growth based on his actions, but we didn’t get to hear any internal thoughts about that change. The tension between the characters was really good at the beginning and just kind of fell apart  throughout the book without reason. I guess I saw the ending coming because we got zero hints at anything else during the story, but it still made zero sense to me and kind of made me annoyed. It feels like you could have slipped this book except for a couple of chapters and then start reading the third. I love these characters and the world but this book didn’t add a lot to either of these.
